Pages

4/06/2009

In January I shared my plan for organizing my Project 365 photos. I had purchased photo sleeve pages to fit my 3-ring scrapbook albums and planned to simply insert photos as I went. If I felt inspired to scrap a certain photo or event, those pages would be mixed in with the photo pages. I was okay with this until recently when I realized I wanted something more. Just a little notation spot on each page for more details about the photos and the days they represented. Plenty are "real life" and not exciting enough (nor do I have enough time!) for a full scrapbook page, but did deserve a little more than just a title on the photo.

Over the weekend, I officially started this change by rearranging the photos in the pages leaving a single pocket on each page open. Then I created a 4x6 journaling card in Photoshop:

I printed the cards on both sides of white cardstock sheets, cut them out and added stamped dates using my Making Memories date stamp:

Then began to journal details about the photos and events surrounding them. Between the photos themselves, my blog and notes about the photos on Flickr - I was quickly able to begin filling in the details of the first few weeks of the year. Here's an example of what one of the pages looks like:

Sarah, I give you a Boat Load of credit!! I started the year doing this challenge and I sstayed with it for the first month and a half. I plan on trying again next year and the system you are using to keep everything organized looks like it might help me stay on track next time.

Sarah, this looks great. I LOVE that you're incorporating this project into your regular albums....it doesn't feel like an "extra project"! The 365 photos look super up against a full page LO. Thanks for sharing!

That looks fantastic! This is something I've been thinking about incorporating into my scrapbooks as well...pages of just photos with perhaps one little 4 x 6 explanation interspersed among the SB layouts. Great job!

Miscarriage

I highly recommend the book What Was Lost: A Christian Journey through Miscarriage for any woman of faith who has suffered a miscarriage or anyone wanting to gain insight to help comfort a spouse, friend, sister, daughter, etc.
